R'SZN Caribbean Jerk Center

The food is absolutely delicious. Five across-the-board some of the Best Caribbean food in the Essex County area in my opinion. I came across The restaurant on Instagram and was very excited to try it out! My man and I ordered the jerk oxtails mac & cheese, and a side of green plantains..

The oxtails were fully of flavor and tender fall off the bone barely had to chew !! The jerk season was well-balanced and not too spicy. ( I love spicy food btw)

I was actually surprised by the mac & cheese !! Normally, when you’re getting mac & cheese at Caribbean spots, it can either be a hit or miss Due to the stereotype that Caribbean mac & cheese is it necessarily as decadent as southern Soul Food mac & cheese but I definitely enjoyed it !!

The green plantains was cut perfectly fried to perfection could use a bit of salt Fresh out the fryer, but nevertheless, a perfect size to complement everything

The only reason I did not give them a full 5 stars Due to the long wait for the food . My man and I arrived to the restaurant around 11:30am .. originally my man wanted the jerk chicken but they said it will be a hour wait so we went with the oxtail thinking it will be faster . However we didnot get our food till damn near 1pm .. there are other people that came before us that got their food pretty quickly! Now will say that the guy working was extremely apologetic and continuously acknowledge the fact that we were waiting so long he offered an additional side for our wait and added a little extra oxtails as well Which was very nice ..

I only have one recommendation for the owner and that would be to consider starting the prep of the meat a little earlier. I understand with making this particular cuisine takes time so maybe since the restaurant opens at 11 possibly starting the prep around 8 o’clock in the morning just to have everything ready for that lunch crowd.
